Sunrise Simulator 3.0.0

The Sunrise Simulator offers an innovative approach to waking up by integrating control of LIFX and Hue lights, functioning effectively as a sunrise alarm clock. Users can customize the duration of the sunrise and select their preferred wake-up time. Over this period, the app gradually brightens the lights while transitioning the color temperature from warm to cool hues.

In the event that the user does not wake by the designated time, the app will activate a chosen sound to assist with awakening.

This application supports simultaneous control of multiple lights across different brands, enhancing its flexibility in various smart home setups.

For optimal use of the sunrise simulator feature, a smart light bulb is required. In situations where a smart bulb is unavailable, users can utilize the phone's torch function to simulate a sunrise, though it is essential not to lock the phone during this process.

Additionally, for those without smart bulbs, the app can serve as a conventional audible alarm. Users have the option to choose any sound from their playlist or select from an array of natural sounds such as ocean waves, rainfall, or bird calls. A siren option is also available for heavy sleepers, which not only sounds an alarm but also activates light strobes after sunrise if the alarm has not been dismissed.

The app further functions as a bedside clock while ensuring the phone remains unlocked. Users can easily adjust display brightness by swiping vertically on the screen.

With the release of Version 3, users can enjoy the convenience of managing multiple locations, enabling them to configure distinct settings for different residences. The app aims to identify locations automatically; however, manual settings are also supported for greater accuracy.
